Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

The stars twinkled in the night sky.

Around the village port wharf, several booms hung with yellowish lights, casting a dim glow.

Under the lights, a dense crowd gathered.

The outer layer consisted of fishermen and ordinary people who were watching the spectacle, constantly peering inside and crowding around.

Blocking their way were police officers in dark blue uniforms, carrying foreign-made guns.

The innermost dock, the one closest to the river, had only a few people standing there.

Without exception, they all possessed extraordinary bearing and were dressed in fine clothes.

Wang Shouyin, the head of the Wang family, was among them.

He was dressed in a black robe, not very tall, and somewhat plump.

His brows were furrowed as he looked at the fishing boats constantly turning back in the depths of the river, his eyes revealing deep worry.

The fishing business at the village port wharf is not solely owned by the Wang family.

But it was the Wang family that possessed the largest share!

The matter of this monstrous fish... it's easy to see from the fearful expressions on the fishermen's faces as they turned back that it has had a significant impact!

If the matter of the demon fish spreads and cannot be resolved, then this dock will probably have to be closed.

Even without a ban, the number of fishermen willing to risk going to sea will be greatly reduced.

From suppliers to restaurants, and then to other businesses... a single hair can affect the whole situation.

Losing some money isn't a problem.

Importantly, it gave those around them an excuse to "take action" against their royal family's businesses.

Wang Shouyin glanced out of the corner of his eye at the blond foreigner standing next to him, wearing a black vest, a diamond-encrusted watch, and sporting a blond head.

At that moment, a uniformed police officer quickly approached him and whispered something in his ear.

A moment later, the police left.

The foreigner turned to Wang Shouyin with a smile and said in broken local language, "Patriarch Wang, my men have investigated and confirmed that it is the demon fish that is causing this trouble."

"It will probably take some effort to deal with this demonic fish."

He smiled at this point. "How was it?"

"Is the head of the family going to pay for an expert to solve this problem himself, or do you want to join forces with our new government to handle it together?"

Wang Shouyin did not respond directly, but shook his head with a wry smile: "Now I don't know how many fishermen will live in fear."

"Those who came back said that a boat capsized... It's so tragic."

As he spoke, he turned to Uncle Xing, who was standing behind Wang Hao, and said, "Old Xing, if any of the workers who come to our house get into trouble, they will be compensated according to the highest standard."

"Those who have worked for five, ten, or twenty years or more will receive additional bonuses. You will handle this personally; there must be no deductions or undervaluation that would discourage everyone!"

Uncle Xing stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Yes."

The foreigners frowned, clearly displeased, when they saw Wang Shouyin beating around the bush.

But in the end, his brows relaxed, a look of disdain flashed across his face, and he stopped talking to Wang Shouyin.

They are now discussing cooperation because the Wang family has readily available resources.

But what if the Wang family is unwilling to cooperate...?

Resources are something that others can also possess!

With so many forces in Hong Kong, they're all just waiting to see which side has the better wind...

This evil fish is causing trouble; sealing off the dock will be the beginning!

The two waited side by side, each lost in their own thoughts, while Wang Hao behind them looked anxious and worried.

Wang Hao asked Uncle Xing, who had just returned, again, "Uncle Xing, you said Changqing, he won't be in any trouble, will he?"

Uncle Xing comforted him, saying, "Little Lu is a lucky person; Heaven will surely help him."

"Besides, the fishermen who came back said that the capsized boat was not Old Chen's boat, so Young Master Lu should be fine."

Wang Hao nodded, but his rubbing fingers and constantly looking around revealed his worry.

After all, it was he who recommended his brother for this job.

Although the demon fish was an unexpected disaster, he would feel guilty to death if something really happened to him.

His older sister, Wang Fanghua, looked at the foreigner next to Wang Shouyin with a gleam in her eyes.

Wang Fanghua overheard the conversation between the foreigner and her father.

She could understand that the other party was trying to coerce the Wang family into transporting opium to the mainland.

If we don't respond, the foreigners will definitely use the "search and capture of the demon fish" to block us.

The business in the village port area will suffer considerable losses.

Of course, the Wang family is not short of money.

The main problem is that once this door is opened, other forces dependent on the Wang family will start to have their own agendas and ideas...

Therefore, we still need to find a way to deal with the demon fish first.

This way, Father will have enough time to think about and deal with the issues of "opium" and "foreigners"...

She's currently at the third level of training, reaching the internal organ stage... which is already quite good among martial arts practitioners of her age.

But to actually go into the water to catch the demon fish...

That's far from enough.

She couldn't think of any experts who could fight underwater... and they didn't have any heavy machine guns in their house either.

Upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that doing things in water would be far more difficult...

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard her younger brother, Wang Hao, exclaim in surprise beside her.

"Good heavens, that's... a demon fish?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fanghua also looked up at the distant river.

Then a boat appeared on the water.

Standing at the bow of the ship was a young man with a tall and strong figure, covered in green blood. Beside him lay a huge, completely dead monster fish!

Under the bright moon and stars, it looked exceptionally extraordinary!

Wang Fanghua's pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but whisper, "Is it Xiao Lu?"

A look of relief appeared on Wang Hao's face. "It's Changqing, Changqing..."

"Thank goodness he's alright, that's good..."

Uncle Xing's face tightened, his beard twitched, and his expression showed astonishment. "This, this demonic fish..."

"Could it be that Xiao Lu killed the demon fish?"

At this moment, Wang Hao realized what was happening, and the relaxed smile on his face gradually faded, finally turning into a look of stunned disbelief. "...No way?"

"Does Changqing really have that ability?"

The ship was very heavy, so it took a long time to dock.

Uncle Xing carefully examined the situation on the boat repeatedly and finally concluded: "Xiao Lu is covered in blood because he fought with the demon fish!"

"He's most likely the killer! Even if he wasn't, he played a significant role!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao gasped sharply, his eyes filled with even greater shock than when he saw Lu Changqing become handsome after practicing martial arts.

"Changqing is fucking that strong now?!"

"It can kill the demon fish!?"

No one could answer his shocking words.

Wang Fanghua's beautiful eyes sparkled, her face revealing surprise and delight.

One second I was thinking about what to do with this troublesome demon fish.

The result was obtained in the next second!

At least on the surface, this has given the Wang family a lot of time!

At this moment, looking at Lu Changqing's tall figure and face at the bow of the ship, she found it hard to believe that he was the same Lu Changqing who had spent his days playing and fooling around with her good-for-nothing younger brother just a few years ago...

The foreigner standing at the front, wearing a vest, saw the corpse of the demon fish, and his previously composed expression immediately changed, becoming somewhat ugly.

Wang Shouyin, the head of the Wang family, shuddered slightly, his somewhat plump body trembling.

Upon realizing that the demon fish was dead, an undisguised smile immediately appeared on his face.

Until the ship docked.

More than a dozen police officers immediately surrounded the fish, guns drawn. After carefully checking that the demon fish was completely dead, the leader turned around and reported:

"My lord! The demon fish is confirmed dead!"

The foreigner's expression darkened even more upon receiving the answer.

Wang Shouyin couldn't hold back any longer and asked Old Chen directly, "Old Chen, did you kill this demonic fish?"

He asked Lao Chen because he was more familiar with Lao Chen.

He had met Lu Changqing a few times, but he didn't remember him looking like this.

Old Chen was taken aback, then quickly looked at Lu Changqing. Seeing that Brother Lu's expression didn't show any displeasure, he spoke up: "Returning home to the Lord's words."

"This demonic fish was killed by Brother Lu, Lu Changqing himself."

"Without him..."

Old Chen's eyes flashed again with the fear and relief of surviving a disaster, "Without Brother Lu, the rest of us would be sleeping at the bottom of the river too."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouyin immediately fixed his gaze on Lu Changqing.

A flicker of reminiscence and contemplation crossed his eyes...

"Lu Changqing...Lu Changqing...he seems so familiar..."

His son rushed forward behind him, shouting, "Changqing, did you really kill this fish?!"

Wang Shouyin suddenly realized that his son had a very good playmate named Lu Changqing!

Old Xing was talking to him about this just a couple of days ago!

He looked at Lu Changqing again, his eyes scanning him up and down before his expression shifted slightly.

But in his mind, his son's best playmate was a sickly man.

The young man before them was tall and imposing, with a composed demeanor, and quite extraordinary!

This doesn't match the image of Lu Changqing in my mind at all...
